Where does luxury meet livability in Singapore’s most coveted residential corridor? GuocoLand’s River Modern offers a compelling answer with its preview launch at S$2,877 per square foot, positioning itself as a premium waterfront development in the heart of River Valley, District 9.
This 99-year leasehold development sits on an impressive 126,325 square feet site with direct frontage along both the Singapore River and Kim Seng Park, delivering what roughly 70% of its residents will appreciate most—unblocked river views.
The project comprises two 36-storey towers housing 455 residential units, with a thoughtful twist in design: one tower features seven units per floor while the other offers six, creating varied living experiences within the same development.
GuocoLand has clearly targeted families and those seeking space, allocating over 60% of units to three- and four-bedroom configurations.
The four-bedroom options deserve particular attention, available in 1,464 or 1,830 square feet layouts, each boasting private lift access and frontages exceeding six metres. This isn’t just generous sizing—it’s strategic planning for modern family living.
Connectivity stands as one of River Modern’s strongest selling points. Direct connection to Great World MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, combined with underground pedestrian access to Great World shopping mall, means residents can reach Orchard Road or the Central Business District without battling traffic or weather.
Future expansion plans connecting to Changi Airport Terminal 5 and the Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS terminal add long-term value. The station is strategically positioned near River Valley Road and Kim Seng Road, linking previously unconnected areas to the rail network.
Families will find River Valley Primary School positioned directly opposite the development, with Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), St. Margaret’s School (Primary), and Alexandra Primary School all within two kilometres. The development’s thoughtfully designed interiors feature state-of-the-art kitchen appliances that elevate everyday living to luxury standards. The pricing ranges from S$2,641 to S$3,300 per square foot, reflecting the premium location and extensive amenities.
With an estimated completion in the second half of 2030 and targeting BCA Green Mark Platinum certification, River Modern represents GuocoLand’s commitment to sustainable luxury living. The development allocates more than 80% of its site area to landscaping and facilities, including a 170-metre nature trail, Grand Lawn, and a 50-metre infinity pool. The sales preview begins February 20, 2026, with the official launch following in Q2 2026.
